Knee Pain Physical Therapy in Emerson, New Jersey

Knee pain is a common problem for many reasons, from acute injuries to complications of diseases. The location of knee pain may vary depending on the structure. In the case of an infection or inflammatory process, the entire knee may be swollen and painful, while the torn meniscus or fracture of the bones gives symptoms only in one particular place. Baker cyst usually causes pain in the back of the knee.

The knee joint is the very basic anatomical structure of our gait cycle. The knee largely depends on the stability of the foot, along with the biomechanical function of the hip and pelvis. Repeatedly, patients come to the clinic with the question:

- Do I need an orthosis to repair my knee pain?- Does it work correctly?- Should I raise my knee, so I use my femoral tendons in the right way?- What shoes should I wear?

Emerson Physical Therapy and Rehab Center provides a very specific, individualized, and comprehensive approach that determines the exact cause of the pain and treats it as such.

All these questions will influence and influence the knee joint in one way or another. It is very important that we look at the function, stability, and mobility of the knee joints. Most of the knee pains that we see in Emerson Physical Therapy & Rehab Center are caused by a trauma or poor posture of walking and running. Both scenarios will lead to a lack of proper function and harmful stability patterns.

Thus, due to this lack of function, the appropriate and surrounding muscles and ligaments and meniscus are affected by compensatory mechanisms or excessive injuries.

At Emerson Physical Therapy & Rehab Center, we offer non-surgical options to effectively and safely deal with knee pain. You will receive an individual treatment plan, the aim of which will be to return to the level of activity and lifestyle you are used to without having to take care of your knee. We will explain to you how to become free from pain, correct the cause, and eliminate symptoms.
